The Indian once more to our notice,
and teaches Us that eternal vigilance
is the price Of government land on
the frontier. Sig. Colorow is OF In
dian parentsge, and his lineage such
as it is, is very long. His ancestors
run back as far as the earliest dawn
of the Christian era. They claimed
The land extending in a sout herly di.
rection from the North pole, and
seemed TO ignore the fact that 1t had
been sold for taxes. The Indian has
always been in favor OF representa-
tion without taxation, and Colorow
has believed in community OF grub,
allowing the white to retain con-
trolling interest in common, wet
proved toll. He has always been
willing 10 divide his bread with the
pale face. He has offered time and
again to give the white man the bread
that was sweeteued with honest sweat,
while he took his plain. He says
that TO prefer bread that tastes OF
Precipitation shows depraved taste.
Colorow has for years been a terror
to the people of Northwestern Colo
RADIO, Eastern Utah and Southern
Wyoming. Every spring it used to
be his custom to stroll into North
Park and

Once he came to call on me. He had

Of course it was nothing more than

After / had asked him how his
mother was, Icould not think ofaoy-
thing else to interest him. Finally
l thought of Capt. John Smith and
how he amused hostile band by
showing them his compass and new
suspenders. / had no compass, but
/ had new watch, which | carried
in a buckskin watch pocket, and l
thought wonld show him the sweep

the wheels go round. When Colo

Of America has no use Tor that
watch, [ would be glad TO have il re-
turned to me at No. 81 Park Row,
New York.
Colorow is q man Of few words.

me when be went away. lie held
nm two fingers and said 10 q voice
that did not seem 10 waver. "Mebbe
30, two sleeps more, you get out" L
sometimes think that when q man
says very little We are more apt to
take an interest in what he says.
II was so 10 his case. Igot TO think:
ing over his remark after he bad
gone. and decided TO accept his
generous offer. He had given me
two sleeps; dut d. not require
much sleep anyway, aud when | got

THE UTE NATION
is divided into two sections, viz, tn
Southern Utes, who have beef
pretty generally friendly, and tn
Northern, or White River Utes
who break out into fits OF emotiona
insanity whenever their ponies ge
their bellies full Of grass. My policy
which, | regret TO say, has neve
been adopted by the government, !
10 hire a sufficient number OF herd
srs to take the entire grand remnan
sale OF Indian tribes out on tn
plains aud watch them all winter
rounding them up aud countin
them every morning and evening {
see that they are all there. Throug
the day they might be kept bus
pulling the 'piEen weed" that grow
ali over the grazing grounds Of Oh
West, aud thus they would q
plenty Of fresh air aud at the sau
